2016 Jeep Renegade brakes problems

Filed Apr 4, 2026 · Airbags, Brakes · OH

I had a service airbag, service parking brake and the seatbelt light starts flashing. It happens every time I drive the vehicle and I had it looked at by a mechanic and they see no issue with the sensors. They told me to check for any recalls and I don’t see any here.

I had a service airbag warning go off days prior which was then followed by my parking brake warning and a constant seatbelt warning chime that happened concurrently. The vehicle had these issues cleared by my mechanic but hasn't been able to be resolved. From what i understand, the seatbelt sensor is faulty and should I have an accident in the near future the airbags will not deploy.

Driver rear light (backup, blinker and brake) lights stopped working. When I was checking the bulbs it appears that the middle pin on the wiring harness has caused a short that broke the pin and also melted some of the harness. The vehicle has 53,000 miles on it. I looked online and there have been several other 2016 jeep renegades that have had the same issue in the last year. We have had intermentant issues with the lighting system freaking out but it never effected the performance and would reset its self after about 25 miles. The dealership we took it to said that the vehicle needed a software update which they did. It seemed to correct that issue as it has only happened once in the last 20,000 miles or so. But this seems to be a bigger issue.

The connector to the brake lights (where the wires meets bulbs) melted and has caused my right rear lights to malfunction. I was told the warehouse the part was ordered from had 8 of the parts in stock and that it wasn't normal for that many to be available.

Seatbelt connector and sensor issues. Intermittently seatbelt, airbag and parking brake senor keeps going off and will not stop while driving. I feel unsafe to drive my car while all these senor are going off. I fear the seatbelt, air bag and parking bake will malfunction while I'm driving.

I was on a highway going 65mph and my engine cut off, steering locked up, and I had no control of breaks or anything. I could not get over or even put my hazards on to signal to other drivers I could not stop or get to another lane. When a tow truck arrived he tried a new battery and everything and could not even get the car in neutral to be able to tow it to the side of the road. Had to get special truck there to get the car to safety and a shop. After getting to the shop they said it was an issue with my water pump that caused everything to shut down suddenly.

The car stops and turns off while in motion. Car lights turn on but engine will not turn on. Had battery replaced twice. The car won't turn off even after pushing the button and exiting the vehicle. Lights won't turn off . Key fob is detected when not near and not detected when inside car. Have gone to the extents of unplugging battery to reset computer after hours it will then turn on and work for about 1 week. With light issues in between. It's become a hazzard since the car will just turn off while driving and will not turn on even with a jump start from a tow truck. The car will become dead 100 percent. Only lights turn in at times until battery gets drained out. Then nothing works.
